50's 60's Very "Blue Collar" B.C. stories

Short stories that take place in British Columbia's west coast or Vancouver Island. Each story is a story of a woman and her journey toward independence from family, bad husbands, social prejudices and stereotypes imposed on them in their youth. The sense of place and time is alarmingly accurate. Characters are very real and definitely lived in that place and time. (I was there - I know.) I received this book from my sister and have already passed it on to a friend. I loved it.
